As someone who has lived with a lifelong sweet tooth, I’m always on the prowl for simple vegan dessert recipes that are as indulgent as they are animal-friendly. Luckily, I’ve discovered the secret for making the easiest chocolate vegan truffles around — Oreo cookies!

These vegan Oreo balls are essentially made using the cake pop method, which means they’re no-bake, super simple, and require just 3 measly ingredients. Let’s dig in!

Recipe Ingredients

Three ingredients to make vegan Oreo truffles.

As promised, you only need 3 easy-to-find ingredients to make all your oreo cheesecake truffle fantasies come true. Here’s what to grab:

Oreos - SURPRISE! Oreos are (and have always been) vegan. This even includes other flavors! The only exceptions to this rule are chocolate-covered Oreo varieties and Oreo Cakesters.
Vegan Cream Cheese - If you haven’t found your favorite brand yet, check out my helpful guide on how to find the best vegan cream cheese money can buy.
Vegan Chocolate - If you can’t find vegan chocolate chips in the baking aisle, stroll over to the candy aisle where the bar chocolate lives. Any unflavored Lindt Chocolate Excellence with 70% or more cocoa is vegan, as are most dark chocolate options of Green & Black Organics, Tony’s Chocolonely, and unfilled Chocolove brands. Specialty shops like Trader Joe’s & Whole Foods also have lots of options.

Pro Tips for Making Oreo Truffles

Use a disher for even scoops. While the first iteration of cocoa-dusted, irregularly shaped truffles were so named because they looked like the homonymous mushrooms, these chocolate-dipped babies are easy to make look like a box of See’s chocolates. To get perfectly sized treats, use a mini cookie scoop (a.k.a. “disher” in the parlance of the great Alton Brown).
Temper your chocolate for a shiny exterior. While this is an optional step that takes a bit of know-how, it’ll result in better-looking treats.
Decorate your chocolate-coated Oreo cookie truffles with a:
- Sprinkling of crushed Oreos,
- Drizzle of melted chocolate (using a variety of dark, “milk” or white chocolates for added visual interest)
- Sprinkles or sanding sugar

Can you make vegan oreo truffles without cream cheese? Sure! You can feel free to swap in an equal amount of your favorite vegan frosting, but please note that this will result in a sweeter cake truffle.

Which Oreo flavors are vegan? You can use regular, Double Stuff or Thins versions of most Oreo flavors, including regular Chocolate, Mint, Golden, Lemon, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Hazelnut, Java Chip, Birthday Cake, Boo (Halloween), Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, Peanut Butter, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Marshmallow, and Caramel Coconut. That there is plenty of variety to make a whole box worth of mixed vegan chocolate truffles.

How to Make Oreo Truffles

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the Oreo cookies (the entire cookie, cream and all!) in a food processor (saving 2 for topping if desired) and pulse until crumbly. Then, add in the cream cheese and pulse until a sticky dough forms.

In 1 tablespoon portions, scoop out the Oreo mixture and roll into balls using your hands (they should be about 1" in size). Place the balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet, you should be able to make about 24 balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes for the balls to set.

Melt the chocolate chips on the stovetop or microwave. Then, dip each Oreo ball in the chocolate with a fork, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off before placing each ball back on the baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the tops of each ball with the remaining crushed Oreos or drizzle with more melted chocolate.

Freeze the balls again for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set, and enjoy straight from the freezer!

Once all of the balls have set, consolidate them into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Optional Add-Ins & Variations

While these dairy-free Oreo cookies truffles are pretty perfect just the way they are, there’s always room for customization. Here are a few variations worth experimenting with:

Make them holiday specific. Making Oreo Christmas Truffles or Halloween Oreo Truffles is as simple as using sprinkles, vegan candy melts or dying white chocolate in classic color combinations like green and red or orange and purple.
Try a different flavor of Oreo. Some of my favorites include Oreo Mint Truffles (consider adding ¼ - ½ teaspoon of mint extract to your melted chocolate to double down on the minty flavor) or Golden Oreo Truffles.
Gluten-Free Oreo Truffles. Simply swap in gluten-free Oreos and you should be good to go!
